Xu Xiaoyu patted her forehead. "Why would I expect Chen Shu to be afraid? What was I thinking?"
Roar!
The Razor-Clawed Wolf let out a roar and instantly killed three more Ice Field Rabbits.
Seeing the remaining five Ice Field Rabbits trying to escape, a faint glow rose from its body, and its speed suddenly surged.
Clearly, another combat skill!
Ssss
The remaining five Ice Field Rabbits were all annihilated, turning into corpses.
The Razor-Clawed Wolf's eyes were filled with bloodlust as it opened its large mouth, preparing to devour them.
"Big Black Dog! Leave some rabbits!"
Chen Shu stood up and shouted loudly, the sound so powerful that it made the Razor-Clawed Wolf's body tremble.
With that, Chen Shu, holding the urea bag, jumped off the Flame Bird's back. Under the Razor-Clawed Wolf's resentful gaze, he collected the Ice Field Rabbit corpses into the bag.
What kind of person is this? He's fighting with a wolf for food? And I'm the one who killed them!
The Razor-Clawed Wolf felt wronged, but with Zhou Shi's command, it could only watch aggrievedly, drooling with envy.
"Little Chen, ordinary Ice Field Rabbits are worthless."
Zhou Shi couldn't help but say, "Even if we sell them to the restaurants in Qingyun Town, they'd only fetch a few hundred yuan each."
Chen Shu said solemnly, "I know, but aren't you hungry now?"
To Zhou Shi's surprise, Chen Shu actually took out various iron rods and supports from his backpack. It was an assembled barbecue grill!
"Wait! Hold on!"
Zhou Shi's mouth twitched. He felt his brain freeze.
"Brother, this is Qingyuan Forest, we're not here for a picnic."
Zhou Shi spoke, "It's daytime, and our action time is limited!"
As if remembering the deliciousness of the Ice Field Rabbits, he secretly swallowed, saying, "Even if we're hungry, we should wait until night!"
Chen Shu looked disappointed and put away the barbecue grill.
However, the Ice Field Rabbits were nearly a meter long. A urea bag could only hold two, and if they weren't dealt with on the spot, they would be difficult to transport.
"Big Black Dog, I'll give you a few."
Chen Shu threw five Ice Field Rabbits to the Razor-Clawed Wolf, and the remaining four were placed on the Iron-Backed Beast's back.
Everyone was a little greedy but didn't stop Chen Shu.
With the Razor-Clawed Wolf handling the combat, the others' roles were not significant. Their main purpose was to increase mutual understanding, as they belonged to the same beast-taming team and would face many powerful fierce beasts in the future.
The Razor-Clawed Wolf finished devouring the Ice Field Rabbits, its eyes filled with satisfaction as it kept watch around.
Zhou Shi approached the Strength Flower and prepared to pick it.
"I'll do it! I'll do it!"
Chen Shu scurried over again, holding a delicate silver shovel.
"The textbook says it's best to use silver items to pick the Strength Flower, otherwise its medicinal properties might be lost."
Zhou Shi was slightly taken aback and smiled, "Your material science is quite good, kid."
Chen Shu carefully dug out the Strength Flower and said, "Of course. Do you understand the value of a cultural score of 396?"
"You? 396? Don't kid me, do you think your Uncle Zhou never went to school?"
Zhou Shi sneered. Even the most brilliant students couldn't exceed 380 in cultural subjects, as the final difficult questions were simply not meant for humans.
"Believe it or not." Chen Shu ignored him, dug out three Strength Flowers, and calmly put them into his backpack.
Zhou Shi: ???
"Your operation is so smooth, you must be a repeat offender!"
Sensing Zhou Shi's gaze, Chen Shu explained, "I know how to store them. I'll keep them with me for now."
Zhou Shi shook his head and turned to the others, saying, "Rest here for a while."
With that, Zhou Shi took out a small blue bottle and sprayed it all around.
A peculiar scent spread out, instantly eliminating the smell of blood in the air.
"Uncle Zhou, your air freshener is so powerful! It's truly an essential tool for robbing houses and setting fires!"
Chen Shu's eyes gleamed. He hadn't expected it to be so magical.
Zhou Shi remained silent. "You're the air freshener, you idiot."
The group replenished their energy and recovered their stamina. Half an hour later, they set off again.
However, just as they had traveled about a thousand meters, the black ravens overhead let out fearful and noisy cries.
"Boss, trouble!! Steel Fang Mouse tide ahead!"
A beast tamer's expression was pale, his eyes filled with fear.
Zhou Shi's expression changed drastically. He shouted, "Ascend!"
In an instant, everyone's contracted spirits vanished, recalled into their beast-taming spaces, and even the Razor-Clawed Wolf disappeared.
A large gray eagle suddenly appeared, exuding the aura of a Black Iron level, clearly Zhou Shi's second contracted spirit.
"Xiaoyu, have the Flame Bird fly as high as possible!"
Zhou Shi reminded, while also letting his teammates onto the gray eagle's back.
The gray eagle flapped its wings, carrying all six people. It was clearly struggling, but it eventually flew into the air.
Xu Xiaoyu also gave some command to the Flame Bird.
The Flame Bird, which had been flying at a low altitude, flapped its wings, and a faint red glow flickered on them.
The next moment, it flapped its wings and soared into the sky, reaching dozens of meters high, almost level with the treetops.
This was the Flame Bird's other skill, "Flap," which could temporarily enhance its flying ability.
Boom boom boom!
Almost as the eight people ascended, the ground began to tremble slightly, leaves fluttered down, and a fatal crisis suddenly swept over them.
Squeak squeak squeak!
Sharp chirps spread, like silent electric currents, making one's scalp tingle.
The vibration intensified, as if a giant beast was trampling the earth.
Chen Shu was tightly holding two Ice Field Rabbits, looking ahead through the falling leaves.
His eyes widened like copper bells, and he exclaimed.
"This is bad! The groundhogs have become spirits!"
